Library tour guide services – Welcome to a knowledge hall of reading and architecture
Located in the Asia New Bay Area of Kaohsiung, the KPL Main Library has attracted the public and cultural sector's attention with its design of a column-suspended green building featuring a "tree in a library and library in a tree." The Main Library offers visitors a new reading experience with its bright and transparent spatial design. Our collection of million of books cannot be achieved without the donation from our citizens. KPL Main Library is a library of love and hope dedicated to the citizens of Kaohsiung. It will also serve as a beacon for urban transformation and sustainable development of the city.
